A reader sent me an example of religious kitsch, but just to be on the safe side, I’m going to have to put it below the fold. There’s nothing obscene about the work in question, but I dare you to look at it and not have wildly inappropriate thoughts skitter through your brain.
I think we need a caption contest for this one.

Okay, just eeewwwww….
Jesus is the way, the wang, and the light.
How about “Flip my switch and be enlightened” Sorry.
For he is the Gloryhole, and the Light.
How does that old Hymn go…
“Jesus loves the little children….”
Yikes.
“trust me.”
Suffer the little children to come unto me? Seems rather backwards at present.
(said in the faux-Burns computer voice used by Wayland Smithers – a hat tip to fellow Simpsons nerds):
He-lo Chil-dren. You… are… quite.. good.. at.. turning… me… on..
What an interesting tidbit of kitsch
Iconography sure is a bitch
But I’m sure that the thrust
Of the thought is: You must
Turn on Jesus’s love, like a switch
He said “I am the way and the light”
And his love is a beautiful sight
If you join with his flock, you
Will see–he won’t shock you;
Turn him on, though, and maybe he might
“Kneel down before me….”
Why are that little boy’s hands in his pockets?
Spare the staff and spoil the child?
Great, the cyber cops are already at the door.
Jesus is lust!
Well… given that the priests take wine as blood literally, we knew that sexual trauma and repression had to be “justified” somewhere too…
I’m worried where the girl’s right hand is headed.
This…is…so…wrong.
“Get it out of the darkness!”
I’ll see your pedophile Jesus and raise you a Jesus dildo.
‘Aw now the kids can see what I’m like in the dark.’
The “What Would Jesus Do” switchplate for Catholic seminaries.
When I was about nine years old, my family and I attended a church in some remote village in northern New York while on vacation. The priest walked out before mass and said “Is anyone here an expert on electronics.” As an amateur radio operator, I raised my hand thinking I could get God-Brownie points.
The priest said “Thank you, young man, would you mind flipping off the light switch over there by the door…”
Priests … always trying to be funny.
So here are my entries:
“Let there be light. But always use a condom”
“Turn On Jesus”
“How many priests does it take to turn on a light bulb? … ”
By the way, I love the fact that the children on this wall switch (which I assume is a glow in the dark wall switch), are staring at the naughty bits.
Priceless…
Are you the Light of the World or are you just pleased to see me?
Jesus light switch sez: “Children turn me on.”
I had a friend in middle school with one of those! His whole family was evangelical nutcases, of course. He loved it, but didn’t understand why I cracked up laughing the first time I saw the dang thing.
“I’m worried where the girl’s right hand is headed.”
To tickle the balls of thy lord!
New doctrine of The Resurrection.
JC for AC.
Dang. H. Humbert got there first.
It’s obvious it should be “Children turn me on.”
Whew! “Kitsch” is the right word. In this photo, at least, it’s even a tasteless dog-puke green.
“Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.”
-Psalms 23
Hey Jesus, I know how the verse goes, but I think this would actually be a good time to hide it under a bushel basket.
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;” flip and the light shall come upon you…
No? Okay.
“Split a piece of wood and I am there.” -Jesus
http://equotes.wetpaint.com/page/Jesus+Christ+Quotes?t=anon
Second choice:
“Gloryholes to God in the highest …”
…
(Heh. Just puzzled out the lettering above the switch. I think it says “Honor Thy Father and Mother.”)
Kinda gives new meaning to ‘coming to Jesus’…
how did the manufacturer/designer/consumer not see how horrible this is?
Kids, say hello to St. Peter.
Notice how JC is gently “herding” the kids toward the, erm, member?
The second coming?
Wow! That is awesome. All 3 of them are just staring at it! Why?!
I vote for the caption put out by #4. Perfect.
The penultimate verse of the bible seems appropriate.
Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Spare the rod and spoil the child.
On the bright side, it’s of the size one might expect for a god. A bit low, though.
If it weren’t for the children…. Get a grip, Lord Jesus, Aphrodite would say “come in today,” if you gave her half a chance.

Suddenly the phrase “Get behind me Satan” is sounding worse in my head. Also Matthew 7:3 while we’re making wood jokes “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in someone else’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?”
Is that a loaf in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?

Perhaps it’s just niche marketing for Catholic Priests. Notice it says Honor thy Father and Something.
Adaptation from John 8:12
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he who turns me on shall not walk in darkness”
(replaced “followeth me” with “turn me on”, which has a tickly feeling to it)
Awesome… Is this real or Photoshoped? what were they thinking?!
Jesus was hung so that we may see the light.
Joseph to Mary, “Jesus will come between us”.
“Jesus really turns me on.”
On the third day he rose again.
Had to go to a bible quotes site for the rest:
“What goes into a man’s mouth does not make him ‘unclean,’ but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him ‘unclean.'”
-Matthew 15:11
“‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will make you fishers of men.'”
-Matthew 4:19
[Jesus said] “But if anyone causes one of these little ones to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”
-Matthew 18:6
“I want to get down on my knees and start pleasing Jesus.
I want to feel his salvation all over my face.”
-Eric Cartman, South Park
OMG–I once rented a room in a house with a light fixture exactly like that! The former owner was an elderly Catholic lady who had raised six children in the faith. When my friend bought the house from her, we couldn’t bear to mess with the kitsch, so I flipped that switch every evening.
“Suck on it, Trebek. Suck it long, suck it hard.”
‘…the guy who did the circumcision never worked again.’
Whatever happened to “Clap on; clap off”?
With props to Robert Palmer:
“When I took you out
I knew what you were all about
But when I did
I didn’t mean to turn you on
No, I didn’t mean to turn you on
I didn’t mean to turn you on….”
“And this is how my Dad created light”
“Come a little bit closer children. My rod -my staff will comfort you…”
or for the lol crowd –
“Erekshun. I has it.”
It also makes me rethink the “suffer the children to come unto me” line.
And thus was how Jesus earned the nickname “Woody”. Amen
res-erection!
“Two of every sort shall come unto thee.”
Feel the Power!
“Swallow it all, kids. Otherwise the priest has to finish me off.”
I walk on water, glow in the dark! weeee!
Here is my entry for the caption contest, in the style of Biblic intergalactical fanfiction (I mean, the Bible is a work of fiction, so you might as well embellish it a bit).
“In 33 AD, the ancestors of lieutenant Ripley watch in horror how a chestbuster chews its way out of Jesus of Nazareth through a slightly unusual route.”
‘Cause the switch represents an Alien, right?
“For he is the Gloryhole, and the Light.”
Winner.
ok kids turn it on.
ok now turn it off.
ok now on … now off … on … off .on.off…
I’m surprised Gen. JC Christian, patriot, hasn’t posted this. I’m sure he would appreciate this salute to Jesus’ little soldier and enjoy being able to turn it on at the flip of a switch.
Cuttlefish’s poem has my vote for best caption.
Hank, my guess is that the whole thing glows in the dark.
I’m not clever enough to top anything already posted, so instead I’ll just pretend I have the right to vote on ’em:
First choice: #23
Second choice: #36
Hank, by the color I suspect it also glows in the dark.
Have you ever seen those Jack Chick comics where God is pretty much a light bulb? This explains everything.
And with apologies to Peter McGrath — I’d go with JC/DC.
“The beginning of a glorious tradition.”
Proof that Jesus is Catholic!
Shines more light on “The Second Coming of Jesus”.
“Hallelujah, He is risen!”

Can never get too much of this genre…
“This little light of mine? Who are you calling little?”
how about just playing Neil Diamond’s ” turn on your love light”
“You can’t touch this – it’s the Sabbath!”
A professor once explained to me that he, as a child in a Catholic family, would make often make money on Saturdays when Orthodox Jews in his neighbourhood would ask him to turn light switches and other electrical devices on and off and pay him a few pennies for doing so. These religious types are barmy and, as capitalists, we should be finding new and unique ways to exploit their weird phobias for profit.
Where’s the little girl’s other hand?
I know Jesus loves me, but I just want to be friends.
(sorry, didn’t invent it, just stole it frome some sig, maybe even here)
Or :
Come to my church, I’ll introduce you to all the members.
Oh my gawd, I just spewed milk through my nose (figuratively). That’s effin’ hilarious!
So wait…… getting Jesus turned on provides the energy to power the light?
Neat. Take that solar panels!
Nit-pick; The Neil Diamond song is “(Turn On Your) Heartlight”. The other one is an old rock and roll standard, originally done by… I have no idea! I know of it as a Grateful Dead tune.
But, see, does the square peg go in the round hole?
“Kids! Remember to put Baby Jesus to bed for the night!”
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
“Now children… witness the coming of the lord!”
There is all kinds of this stuff that people with imaginations will have fun with but the makers intent is just to fill the room with as many reminders as possible.
They didn’t even notice.
As a former Catholic altarboy all I’ve got to say is, Nothing new here.
“Hey, boys and girls! Wanna raise Jesus from the dead?”
Uh, oh … I think I’m going to hell now!
De-lurking… “and this, children, is how to recognize a genuine priest”…Re-engage lurking device.
“Switch on to the light of Jesus, and know love.”
Little Girl: “What is it?”
Jesus: “Touch it and see. It’s ok, I’m Jesus.”

Little Bill and Jane found Jesus that day, and that night, and the whole next day.

The way the children are looking right at the holy member – this had to have been done as a joke by the artist, right? I’m sure it was sold earnestly by a company, but the person who actually made the kids looking there had to have known what he was doing.
c’mon kids. Pull my, umm, finger.
Oh, this makes me think of the bit from the wonderfully funny, satirical movie The Ruling Class where Peter O’Toole straps himself up in a cross and cries out “I am the electric Messiah! The AC/DC god!” (Sampled in the song Cooler Than Jesus by My Life With the Thrill Kill Cult.)
How about:
Paul, Paul, it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Jesus of the Week has a delightfully tacky selection of Jesuses (or is it Jesii?) That includes the “Turn Jesus On” switch and this delicious item
There’s also this wonderful reminder that you’re only young once – unless you get a tattoo of a cutsie Hello Jesus Kittie. Won’t that look so cool when you’re 40.
I would say that this is blasphemous and the guy who made this should be switched on and then permanently off.
The gift priests give to children to show them what they just did wasn’t bad…and to bribe them to keep it hush hush.
The sacred part of Jesus.
(To non-lapsed Catholics, the eerily lurking JC on top of the switch is Himself in Sacred Heart mode. Usually a 3ft high statue with a mournful JC opening His robes so the heart shows, wreathed by the crown of thorns with a crucifix sticking out where the plumbing normally emerges. There may be flames on the deluxe version. Classy Catholic houses in Manchester – those of us with a priest in the family – had the statue. Low-rent families just a print. Tacky families had one of those bonkers 3-d prints where Jesus’ eyes would follow you round the room. The hands would touch the heart and do a blessing, too. I’m not making this up.)
Jesus, stop fondling the white children.

Nice one, Scott–OT, are you familiar with Johnny Cash’s “The Man Comes Around”?

“Are the lights on, or are you just glad to see me?”
John 6:53
“Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.”
#7, I think the twist you’re looking for is:
“Suffer me to come unto the little children.”
It has been explained to me that the reason I make my born-again brother so agitated when I tell him I am very happy being a deist (I lie to him because the a-word would probably give him a stroke or something) is that we all have this hole in our lives, see, and only Jesus can fill it. We may try to fill this hole with money, or drugs, or alcohol, but ultimately we all have to come to the realization:
“Only Jesus can fill your hole!”
“Jesus loves loves the little children…”
Any bets they got it in a Catholic store? Those priests had to get their ideas from somewhere.
I always wondered about Jesus’ sexuality, but had concluded before now that he was just “turn the other cheeks” gay. There’s obviously more to the story.
oh, you can get stuff like this every week over at http://www.jesusoftheweek.com
And I can’t help but notice that Jesus is turned on.
flic my bic.
“Suffer the little children…”
“Arouse me and I shall illuminate thy path”
So this is how he reanimated lazarus from the dead. Should have guessed.
“If this light remains on for more than four hours, consult your physician.”
The path to hell is easy and soft, but my way is hard sayeth the Lord. Great (look at the size of it) will be your reward, if you but kneel and serve me.
Even so, come Lord Jesus (Rev. 22:20).

I also think Epikt has a winner though.
My first thought upon seeing these (the OP and #148) was, “Are they blind? Don’t they realize what this looks like?”
My second thought was that, yes, that is probably the case. There is often a great deal of sexual repression going on in the minds of the extremely religious. This explains, in part, abstinence campaigns and the obsession with homosexuals. They actually just see a light switch honoring “the Lord”, and don’t notice his enormous wang inviting you to (or the children) to flick on the lights by masturbating him.
Jesus is hung like a light switch.

(remembering where I am)
OK, crazy catholic. Not crazy crazy catholic. Feeling better now.
Turning off the lights to save energy makes Jesus sad.
The switch is quite a bit too low and misshapen to be considered a phallus. The Jesus figure is slightly hunched moving his waist back from the foreground.
It is obvious that neither the artist, or the purchasers of this switch cover thought it would be deemed inappropriate. I have often wondered the psychological makeup of those who feel the need to associate a sexual connotation with that of innocence.
It’s a phallus symbol if it’s longer than it’s wide.
Nitpick all you like, but that there’s a Holy Dong.
“I have often wondered the psychological makeup of those who feel the need to associate a sexual connotation with that of innocence.”
Whereas seeing the face of Jesus in a grilled cheese sandwich is entirely rational.
Ask your local priest.
I think you’re right, though. There’s nothing sexual about the plate. Jesus appears to be perched on a unicycle.

Seriously, I am surprised that no evangelicals have materialied here and told you that all posters here will suffer eternal damnation.
I’m with TisStupid. I’m astounded at the perversion shown here. All I see is a fully grown man gently drawing two small children toward an upwardly angled, nearly cylindrical bulge protruding from his body from somewhere between his waist and his knees. Nothing humorous there.
The fact that the lower, non-protruding half of the switch vaguely resembles a hanging ballsack is also purely coincidental. And not at all funny.
I’ve seen one of these with Michaelangelo’s David, but I assumed that was deliberate… and no little kids on that one.
God said “Let there be light” and it was wood … er, good. Yes, it was very, very good!

i can see the religious right’s reason for this. realizing that a 33-year-old unmarried male who hung around all day with his 12 male friends is obviously gay, they decided to cut their losses by using this to prove that indeed, all child molestors are gay. They may lose a savior but they establish another falsehood in their fight for bigotry.

HEY This IS for real, all you who asked. From 1959 until 1979 this light switch was over my head in my bedroom! My parents, who are 84 years old, STILL have this switch plate in a bedroom in their house. I used to lay in bed at night and once in a while look up and wonder “why are they staring at Jesus’ Pee pee!!!” HONEST. After I got married in the 1980s, my wife and I stayed at my parents house over Christmas holidays and my wife would crack up at the light switch over our heads. The funniest thing is………my parents had absolutely NO problems or thoughts about this being sexual at all. My parents are both VERY VERY devote Catholics and very strict about sex or anything to do with it. I never saw an M rated movie (before the PG and PG-13 ratings) until I was 17 years old and went out with my best friend without my parents knowing it!
Obviously the designers and marketers of religious iconography don’t have filthy minds like us lot. LOL

My first thought was, “Oh my fucking god”.
Then I realized – that’s the perfect caption, too!
“Oh ‘come’ all ye faithful…”
obviously this is a scene from one of the lost bible verses.
“Thou shalt partake of my bread, and yea, from this day forward thou shalt refer to thine bread as ‘the body of christ'”
Honor Thy Father and Mother (but this will be our little secret).

“If you turn Jesus off, you’ll go blind” or “If you turn Jesus off, you’ll be in the dark.” Maybe you could work “eternal darkness” into it?
Seems like a perfectly reasonable religious message to me. Easy for me to imagine the appropriate sermon. However, I’m not up on the most appropriate Biblical quotes.
“The Passion of the Christ”
(sings) “He’s got the whole world in His pants”
“Wel-cum children!”
I think it would probably look just a tiny bit less obscene in the “on” position (and when it’s in the “off” position, the room would be dark anyway).
Of course, in a hall-and-landing setup, all bets are off because there is always a way for the light to be on when one of the switches is “up”.
“Now turn the other cheek.”
or
“For I am the light and the res-ERECTION. Get it? See, because, light-switch, right– and check out my boner.”
or
“Lazarus, ARISE!… I call him Lazarus.”

“Consider the lillies of the valley.And by that I mean my penis.”

1. On multi-switch controls, as seen on landings. Flicking any switch changes the state of the light, so there is no certinty about up-or-down-on.
2. When someone has been doing DIY, and either thought it wouldn’t matter which hole they stuck the wire in or didn’t think about which way up they should install the switch.
He Is Risen!
Now children, prepare to receive the Host.

Stand back and await the Secong Cumming!
Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red or yellow black or white they are precious in his sight…
“Jesus goes down in the dark.”
“Turn me on, dead man.”
This must turn on the lights in a priests bedroom. Ever wonder why they call it a rectory?
Christ has died! Christ is risen! Christ will cum again!
“but who may abide the day of his coming”? (haendel, messiah)
As the hymn says, “Stand up, stand up, for Jesus, ye soldiers”.
So….Jesus was a switch hitter??
Strange, I thought the christian way was that it was up when the lights where down. Did I miss something the pope said?
I’m wondering if this will turn into a Huckabee Campaign speech
120 volts would flick your unit upright too.
Jesus isn’t circumsized. Who knew?
“spare the rod and spoil the child.”
“the way to a man’s sacred heart is through his…ermmm..”
“Just a little closer”
Who are you to judge?
how immature
tc, how immature to think it so immature.
“Come little children ONTO me.” Or the other way around.
